Britons are confused right now. Scary isn't it? I am only glad that I got out but there are so many people that I wish I could have brought with me too.
I have to say that I do not miss it for a second though!
Having decided to run an article regarding this at Start The Revolution, and also knowing the DM's reputation for, shall we say, "toying" with the truth, I actually managed to speak with the boy's father, Nicholas Cannon. Due to a "media deal" he could not give me anything on the record but he did confirm off the record that the story was factually correct even though the DM had breached the "media deal" in quoting him when he did not provide the quote...Sound familiar?!??!
Anyway, suffice to say that, whilst the DM cannot always be trusted in terms of facts and sources (which is quite scary when you consider that they are supposed to be a news media outlet!) this story is absolutely true.
If he changes the law BEFORE he is indicted, then there is no law to try him under, no? It is not a case of him being pardoned or anything else, it is a simple case of the CURRENT law being the only law under which a person can be tried for a crime. If you kill somebody today and they get rid of the murder laws tomorrow and you are "found out" the day after, what are they going to prosecute you for? A law that no longer exists?
Similarly, in this case, if the intel chiefs get their way and domestic spying is legalised, or even just decriminalised, there is nothing to arrest Bush for.
This one is such a no brainer that it worries me why people are flying off in so many tangents...
The Bush administration broke the law and ignored the constitution..."Bush HIMSELF said that wiretapping without a warrant was illegal and unconstitutional about 1 year before telling the world that he had spoken to his lawyers and they said that he did have the authority.
The questions that need to be asked here are simple:
Did the lawyers (Gonzales etc.) change their mind?
If so, why?
What are you going to do to make sure that Bush is tried for his alleged crimes?
If they are not crimes then let a court tell you that, not Bush. If they are crimes then let's have him in jail and out of office before he gets a chance to effect a signing statement that says nobody called George W Bush who has been president of the USA is allowed to be imprisoned for any crime, EVER! Ok, that is a little ridiculous, but you get my point! Although do not put it past that weasel Gonzales to find a way to make that happen!
Wake up America before their is nothing left of what used to be the "land of the free" left to wake up to.
Go to the profile version and link from there. Also, the articles have a link on them pointing to the latest update which is where you will find what you are looking for.
I guess if you had read all the way to the bottom of the information you would have found that though, huh?!
The link to the original story aeems to have gone astray. The links are to previous articles whereas the actual article INCLUDING THE VIDEO that this "installment" refers to can be found HERE
I have now added a link to my journal entry but it does not appear here as yet. I hope that it does but in the meantime the case history can be found HERE.

Oh, and I meant to say, I did chuckle when I saw your artcle on Infowars and Rense!!!
Seriously, those guys really should do their research!!!
